Bio:


Blaine Duncan never went looking for a band. The band came to him.

In the summer of 2006, Duncan was approached by drummer Mikey Oswalt, who wanted to back the folksy songwriter with other gifted musicians. This set the stage for the formation of The Lookers.

After starts and stops with a bass player or two, Ryan Akers was recruited for the duties and stuck around for quite a while.  David Phillips answered a flyer, and he fit the mold.  The Lookers began.   

Blaine Duncan & the Lookers honed their craft in a barn during the late summer and fall of 2006 until their debut on February 8, 2007. They have been going strong ever since, calling Tuscaloosa their home even before their inception.

Throughout 2009, Ham Bagby was a staple in the Lookers.  In October 2009, Akers left for Colorado, and Kendall Rich joined as bass and guitar player.  In March 2010, Mikey Oswalt was replaced by Adam Ridgway as drummer.  

While time has passed and some band members have changed, one thing remains certain: Blaine Duncan & the Lookers still mix wit with weariness, unorthodox vocals with thematic beauty, and country with rock.
